A probably fatal accident happened
this morning during q fire-alarm in
Portsmouth. Mr.. Percy Cluverius, in
driving the hose-carriage Of the Cham
bers Fire Company, on County street,
was thrown out on pile OF stones by
the overturning of the carriage, and
fell with such violence that his breast
bone, left arm, and several ribs were
broken and face and head cut aud
bruised. He was taken TO the Office Of
Dr. V. @. Culpeper, and other physi-
clans were called in. His condition is
very critical and his friends fear the
worst.

gress we're TO require them to put such q
section into their Constitution, and
they we're to consent to act up TO that
requirement, the section would drop
dead the moment the State was admit
ted into the Union-the moment the
Territory became State.
But The New York Sun doesn't know
whether the section in question would
be binding upon the State 1t says:
at is true that grave questions OF
constitutional power are involved in
the extraordinary provisions which
practically make Congress and the
Federal executive trustees for the en-
forcement Of the laws against polygamy.
1t may be constitutional for State to
delegate such powers would it be con-
sti,utional for Congress and the Presi-
dent to attempt to exercise them 2"
No. II cannot be constitutional for
State TO delegate such powers. Nor
could Congress exercise them. TO do
so would be to change the entire struc-
ture of our Government.

The Southern Express Company and
the Interstate Law.
~ tal. ~h 20 tho nianatch


WASHINGTON, August 30.-Mr. w. S.
Christhol, general counsel of the South
ern Express Company, has submitted
to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion a printed answer to the circular
communication of the commission, in
which answer the company argues that
it is not legally bound to furnish
schedules of rates. 1t is, says the an
swer, corporation established under
the laws of Georgia, using the various
railroads, steamboats,, steamships, and
other vehicles of conveyance. The use
of the railroads has always been
subject matter OF special contracts,
which differ in their msand conditions
and are subject to change or abroga-
ton at the will of the railroads. The
rates and charges of an express CON-
pany are, therefore, made up OF an es-
timated reasonable allowance for the
use of its own property and for the
use of other lines. With one railroad
it may contract for car space, with an
other upon a tonnage basis, and to
third it may pay percentage of its
revenues. The answer quotes from
the opinion of Chief-Justice Waite
sustaining the right of an ex-
press company TO make special
contracts with railroads. and it
likens the relations of the express and
the railroad to those between railroads
and the Post Office Department or the
Western Union Telegraph Company.
1t is submitted that Legislation to re-
verse; established legal principles should
certainly make some reference to the
law or principle to be changed. Yet
section 6 of the interstate law not
only contains no reference to express
companies, but declares in unambigu-
GUS language that its provisions apply
only to railroads. The schedules pro-
vided for are required to state places
upon railroads and contain classificl-
ton OF freight in force upon the same,
and copies of the schedule are required
to be kept in every depot or station;
yet the express company own no rail
road, has no control over railroad rates
or classification, and has no Offices or
agents in the many depots of the lines
with which it has contracts.
The sixth section, it is averred. no
more requires the publication OF sched-
ules of rates, fares, charges, and CLASH
fications by express companies than by
other customers of railroads. Again.
it is asked how would it be practicable
for the respondent to mako joint con-
tracts with several railroad lines, with
some of which it may have percent
age and with others space or tonnage
contracts, and what would be the con-
dition of the respondent if forced to
make joint contracts in case one or
more of the lines observed the contract
and others did not 2, The statute makes
provisions for the protection of inno-
cent rail lines in such case, but no pro-
vision 10 made for the protection of eI-
press companies.

virgins VIII Not Down.

An Ottawa special of the Goth says :
The tremendous storm predicted by
Professor Virgins, of this city, and
announced in the Detroit Free Press
of August %, 1885, is due to strike
America on the 10Th OF September
next. Professor Virgins expects it to
be the most violent blow of the CEN
iurv. The storm, which will originate
in the Arctic circle, will cross the me-
ridian OF London, Eng, on the 18th.
Moving westward across the Atlantic,
the wind on the 18th will be southeast
at Halifax. A counter wave, sweeping
across the great lakes from the north
west, will roar over half the continent,
the gale being at its height along the
Atlantic on the 10Th when the storms
meet. The Professor, writing in the
American papers several years ago.
said that the far off elements will en-
brace about one half of the North
American continent. Great dangers
will exist for those at sea. The posi-
ton of the planets is given as the cause
Of the storm, which will be followed
10y eQuinoctial gales.

Mr.. CoNKLNG. - The Lynchburg
Ne,Os disposes of the only charge we
laid to Mr.. COMBINES account the
other day. 1t says:
alt is true that Conkling supported
the electoral commission bill in a pow
erful speech before the Senate, but he
was not madeo one of the commissioners.
His speech in opposition to the right of
the president of the Senate to count the
electoral vote and his admitted dislike
to Hayes caused the Republicans to
distrust him, and he thus fortunately
escaped the odium that attached to the
decision of that infamous tribunal.
So much the better for our "con-
trast."

A Richmond Boys Triumph.

OELMA, ALA, august ~, ioO''
To tie Editor of the Dispatch:
One of the most thrilling foot-races
ever made in this State was witnessed
in this town to-day between Mr.. @. Q.
Satterwhite, of Richmond, Va, and
b. X. Harris, of Wales. Mr.. Harris
has worn the belt for the past year as
the champion runner and all-round
athlete of Alabama.
The race was arranged on Mr.. Sat
terwbite's side by Il. w. Joyce, Eugene
Flemming, William Evans, and w. A.
Armistead, all OF the Chesapeake and
Ohio shops, Richmond, but who are
now living in Selma. MIR. Harris's
hackers were picked out from among
his acauaintances 10 this city.
The race was four hundred yards in
the suburbs Of town for purse OF 500,
three fourths to the winner, one fourth
10 loser.
Both men were in fine shape. and
when they toed the mark each ones
admirers cheered his favorite Justify.
There have been good many foot
races in this State in the past year, but
all present agreed that this was the
most holly contested they had ever wit
messed. For the first 200 yards Harris
kept ahead about four feet, and 1t seem
ed that Satterwhite could not reduce
the distance. In the third quarter Sat
terwhite made up three feet on his OPP
ponent. When 800 yards had been
done Satterwhite was leading by one
| foot. About 90 yards from the finish
Harris regained the lost ground and
came up even with Satterwhite. From
now on it was grand fight for the
mastery. Harris held up with Satter-
white, but was evidently suffering from
the enormous exertion he was putting
into the race. And now the staying
| quality Of Satterwhite began to show
itself, when within Is yards of the
home plate be surged ahead like race
horse and left his opponent eight feet
in the rear. Mr.. Satterwhite's victory
was enthusiastically cheercd. and es-
pecially by his friends who had known
him in Richmond, and who wanted TO
see the honor OF the old State upheld.
Mr.. Satterwhite was rendered a ban
quet at KEEPS that evening by his adj
mirers, which was very enjoyable
| affair.

The Mormons recently framed State
Constitution making bigamy and po-
lygamy an offence against the laws, and
punishable by heavy fines. OF course,
IL the State were admitted into the
Union the Mormons could and would
soon strike that provision from the
Constitution. They proposed, how
ever, TO humbng UNCLE SAM; and they
accordingly put the following into the
proposed Constitution:
"Provided, that section ~ OF Article
XIV. prohibiting polygamy and bigamy]
shall not be amended, revised, or in
any way changed until any amendment,
revision, or change IS proposed therein
sl,all, in addition 10 the requirements
Of the provisions Of this article, be re-
ported to the Congress Of the United
States, and shall be by Congress APP
proved and ratified, and such approval
and ratification be proclaimed by the
President Of the United States, and il
not 20 ratified and proclaimed said Sec
ton shall remain perpetual"

A Coop JoKr. Cleveland Plain
Deoler says of Mr.. IeNATIUs DoNNEL.
LY's works:
Scientists look on his Atlantis
and Ragnarok as ingenious jokes
upon the public who take those collec
tions of myths, traditions, and specu-
lations as solemn facts, and his Shaks-
peare-BAcon cryptogram is considered
by most Shakspearean scholars who
have given it any attention as most
exquisite fooling.' As the world goes
Mr.. Donnelly is not unlikely to get
both money and fun from his good
joke.
Let him have them. If two hundred
and seventy years after SHAKESPEARE
died, DoNNELLY has discovered what
all the rest of mankind failed during
all that time to discover, he ought to
have both money and fun. "The Mer-
ry Wires Of Windsor" was written
by SHAKESPEARE, so it used to be said,
by request of Queen ELIZABETH. Did
Lord BACON write that poor play, too ?

TREvILIANs, August 80, 1887.
There fell last night one OF the
heaviest and most drenching dews ever
experienced. The water soaked the
ground like shower. 1t is an open
question as to whether we had frost
the thermometer standing but very
little above the freezing point this
morning. The farmers are busily en-
gagged in saving their fodder and corn.
Tobacco still looks splendid, though
little was planted.
Mr.. Maury Morris, of this neighbor-
hood, died suddenly of supposed con-
gestive chill last week. He had been
greatly affected by the death OF his
wife about year ago. Mr.. Morris was
a son of Mr.. Richard o. Morris, of the
Green Springs.
The Republicans will probably nomi-
nate Mr.. John Wales for the House.
Mr.. Everett Keane and Rev. Mr..
Smith, of Kansas City. Mo-, have been

William Anderson, of Gettysburg fame,
speaks of moving with his family to
that place.
During the meeting at Berea church
last week violent storm arose and
blew a large oak-tree upon buggy,
crashing the rear wheels. 1t seems
that romantic couple had taken refuge
from the storm IN the buggy and were
conducting a private experience meet
ing or love-feast. The shock 50 terri
fed the lady that she tainted on real
izing their narrow escape.
Mr.. Lew Ames and family, from
near Portsmouth, are visiting at this
place.
Our public-school teachers and
boards are busy with the examinations,
which come of the latter part of this

ALEXANDRIA, Va, August 30.-On
the river steamers a row by Washing
ton darkeys is now quite frequent.
Yesterday one was averted by the cap
tain of the steamer Thompson, which
carried party of colored excursionists
and "Sons OF Canaan" to Leonard
town. While here for freight and o
delegation number went up town. As
they had already caused apprehen-
sions by disorderly conduct, the
captain proceeded up town and pur-
chased . supply of revolvers and cart
ridges. The boat had not proceeded far
before, it is said, one of the negroes
became SO violent as to require repri-
mand, and this was the signal for q
general row, in which pistols, razors,
ard knives were brandished. He was
ordered to be quiet, and, on not obey
ing, the officers and crew were given
revolvers and cartridges with orders to
use them if necessary. The refractory
negro was then flung ashore, and so
unceremonjously and emphatically that
quiet prevailed forthwith.
The public schools open on Thurs
day. To-day $50 white permits were
issued.
